I started to write a brief history, but damned if Wikipedia doesn't have every last little tidbit and nuance I was going to explain about the bizarre, fragmented, poorly-understood cultural phenomenon that is leetspeak. Check it out for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

Of course, not that it says the target's strength can't drop below 1, not that it can't be below 1. So ray of enfeeblement will help you if you cast it before you get hit by the poison, but not if you cast it afterwards. Right, Hypersmurf? :uhoh: Caliban, I believe that Hypersmurf is...

DreamChaser, I admitted in my original post that I was concerned about overstepping the monk's toes with the improved brawling. Is IUS really too much? Maybe I am missing something; I just don't see it as being very powerful at all for anyone but a monk, who of course gets it for free. Also I...

A character exceeding their heavy load can only move 5' per round (as a full-round action) and loses their Dex bonus to AC. So a wizard would not be rendered entirely helpless but would certainly be rather exposed - no five-foot-step-and-cast, and rogues will go to town on him. Note that the...

Incenjucar, my last post was addressed to Mr. Kaze, but I will address your comment now. Survival is neutral. That does not make the means of survival neutral. If there are cows (or other non-intelligent life forms) on Limbo, I believe that the slaad can make use of them as cattle and hosts...

I don't think that the example of an ogre not understanding a commoner holds water. Ogres don't speak the language of humans, but humans still display the signs of intelligence in their tools, clothes, and buildings so it's laughable to think that an ogre would not see any difference between a...

I would say that killing someone counts as acting in their detriment. Personally, although I hate to to the Iconic Movie Character thing, I've always thought of Han Solo (at least at the beginning of Star Wars) as being a good example of chaotic neutral. He's a smuggler (thus working outside...

Uh, I think I just wrote them out. Let's try it like this: Dwarven MechArmor: This suit of +1 plate mail is made of stone and fashioned to look like a golem, covering the entire body. Any character wearing it gains a +2 enhancement bonus to strength and DR 2/-. The suit's "gloves" are too...

I just smoked a ton of crack and wrote a long-winded post explaining why you were wrong. Then, while I was re-reading your post to make sure I had addressed all of your concerns, I realized that I had completely misinterpreted what you said. I think it's time for me to go to bed, but I will...

Hmm, raver-nomad-artiste slaads sounds like a pretty good idea. As for the egg pellet thing, some slaads can already infect a humanoid with a disease that turns them into a slaad if uncured. So all you'd have to do is remove the egg implanting ability and give all slaads the transformative...

Personally, I would just treat them as suits of armor that grant bonuses to the character inside, and price them accordingly. For instance, a war suit might be +1 plate mail that grants the character +2 strength, DR 2/- and does a slam attack for 3d6 points of damage. A mining suit might grant...

Hi guys, I'm going to be starting an Eberron campaign soon, and I'm looking for a way to make combat more exciting, with pulp/swashbuckling feel. Action points help, but I'd really like to have a system that emphasizes flashy moves, improvised weapons, usage of the environment, and talking...

Mithril Fluidity as written can be taken multiple times. Each time it is taken, it increases the maximum dexterity bonus by 1 and reduces the armor check penalty by 1. I wouldn't object to also reducing Arcane Spell Failure by 5% per instance in my game, but for some reason the Wizards folks...

I'd say that the slaad as used in modules/games are pretty much evil. Does anyone have a vision of them that fits neutrality well?

Maybe a way to speed up Grease, Web, and Entangle would be to have them use existing mechanics rather than having to look them up every time. For instance, they could look like this: Web/Entangle: At the time of casting, each creature that fails its saving throw is considered grappled. Any...

Ray of enfeeblement includes a clause that prevents it from dropping a character below 1 strength, so it can't paralyze them. Although, with a 'heavy load' of 10 pounds, a character with 1 strength is unlikely to get very far in a hurry. Characters with higher strength are likely to be wearing...

This reminds me of a bit from Metal Gear Solid 2. You're escaping from the torture chamber stark naked - but it's a PG-13 game, so the main character has to keep covered in his, err, critical region. It cracked me up when the voice of the commander came in over the headset, saying something...

This is kind of unrelated, but does anyone else see the soulknife as being a terribly underpowered class? They're a one-trick pony, and their one trick isn't even that great. Sure, they end up with a +9 weapon that can't be taken away from them.. but they're down five points of BAB from a real...

Well, the Deathless aren't really undead. They're more like "Gee, you should have died, but the collective faith, prayer, and goodwill of your community is sustaining you." That being said, I admit that a solitary Deathless doesn't make any sense at all.

...yet. :mad:
